Olin expresses issues with cost of E-45 project

Becky McAtee, City of Olin mayor, addressed the Jones County Supervisors during their Aug. 1 meeting concerning the cost for the County Road E-45 resurfacing project. Also present were County Engineer Derek Snead and Assistant Engineer Todd Postel.

McAtee said Snead quoted the City of Olin $250,000 for the roughly quarter-mile stretch of E-45 that enters the city limits of Olin.

“The city council says no,” McAtee shared with the supervisors in terms of what the Olin council is not willing to pay. “We can’t afford it.”
